A sheet of paper in a black-and-white cage. Ruling - Cells

Notebooks with ruled sheets - naturally evoke in us associations of school years. However, a ruled or squared sheet template made in a text editor MS Word can be useful for you not only for writing lessons, but also for a host of other things when you have to "work" not only with the keyboard, but also with an ordinary ballpoint pen. To write an application form by hand, to make a sheet for a homemade notebook and similar actions - you must agree, it is much easier if the sheet is also equipped with a "ruler" that simplifies handwritten "data entry".

Three types of sheet ruler: in a ruler, in a cage and in an oblique ruler. Today we will learn how to do all three types in MS Word.

Today I will tell you how to make a template of a ruled sheet in A4 format. we will work, of course, in a text editor MS Word. Also, in addition to the lesson, at the end of the article you can download ready-to-print MS Word sheet ruler templates in a ruler and a cell. Forward!

Making a lined A4 sheet in MS Word

Let's create a blank MS Word document and save it as a template in any convenient place on your computer. Let's go to the "Insert" tab and in the group " Tables»We will use a well-known tool "Insert Table".

In the window that appears, set the following parameters:

Number of columns: 1 (strictly 1).
Number of cells: more (30-50 is fine).

Click "Ok" and see what happened. As you can see, the contours of the future ruled are already visible, although, of course, it is still too early to send the document for printing.

Let's go to layout tab (it is active if the table we inserted earlier is selected), and in group "Cell size" increase the spacing between our ruled lines. I will expose the height lines of 1 centimeter, if you have a sweeping handwriting, you can make it larger, but do not accelerate too much - a height of 1.5 cm is already a bit too much.

Setting the distance between lined lines

If you use the default MS Word template, then it makes sense to also change - for a printed document they may be suitable, but for a handwritten document they are too big. Just stretch the rulers to the desired height and width and move on.

Turn on the rulers in a text editor, if you haven't already done so

By the way - if you do not see the rulers, most likely they are simply disabled. Go to the "View" tab and check the appropriate box. The rulers will immediately appear in their rightful places!

Well, let's finish the work on the ruler of our sheet:

select the entire previously created table, right-click and select the "Table Properties" item.
in the window that appears, on the first tab, click the "Borders and Fill" button.
turn off the display of the side borders of the table by clicking on the corresponding icons and click on "OK". Since there is only one column in our table, after this operation, only the ruler should remain on the sheet of the document - horizontal lines going one above the other, just like in a school notebook.

Creating a linear document ruler in MS Word

Almost everything is done!

If you run our lined A4 sheet for printing right now, the result may not please you - the lines will be barely visible. If you are going to use the ruler as a "reference line" when writing your letter, this is even better, but if you want to make the lines clearer, you need to do one more step.

Select the entire table again, right-click on it and go to "Table Properties", and then to Borders and Fills.

By setting the color and thickness of the lines, you can make the sheet ruled almost invisible or very visible

Here, in the Width field, change the default 0.5 pt to 1.5 pt (at least 1 pt). Do not rush to click "OK", first "curse" with the mouse the necessary lines on the explanatory figure in the block "Sample" for the changes to take effect. But now, feel free to press "OK" and admire the result - it will be hard not to notice such a ruler when printing a lined sheet!

The final result is an A4 sheet lined with a ruler. Below you can download this document template completely free.

A4 sheet ruled in a cage in MS Word

We figured out the ruler, now is the time to go to the sheet ruled in a cage - the same one as in a math notebook or on the sheets of a notebook. In fact, the principle is the same here, just a little different ways of working.

Create a new MS Word document and save it to disk. We pass to the "Insert" tab and choose insert Table tool.

Table settings for creating A4 sheet lined in a cage

In the window that appears, set the values \u200b\u200b(provided that the margins of the document are slightly reduced compared to the default size - for example, I set margins of 2 cm to the left and 1 cm to the right and top and 1.5 to the bottom):

Number of columns: 36 .
Number of cells: 52 .

Click "OK" and see a "fine-grained" table covering part of the sheet.

Setting the cell size of the lined sheet

Now let's adjust the size of the cells - select the inserted table, go to the "Layout" tab and forcibly set the size of the cells in height and width by one value: 0.5 cm (2 cells of the standard ruler are equal to one centimeter).

Now everything is ready - you can safely send our page lined in a cage for printing!

Change the color of the sheet ruler to gray to look more like a classic

p.s. If after printing it turns out that the cells on the sheet are too dark, just change the color of the table lines. To do this, go to "Borders and Fill" again and in the "" Color "field specify one of the shades of gray. The final ruler of the sheet will look completely "like a notebook".

A4 sheet ruling in an oblique ruler

... not very good news: there are no standard tools for creating a slanting square ruler in MS Word. However, there would be a desire!

The first thing to do is to line the A4 sheet in a text editor in a familiar way, but only the distance between the individual ruler lines should be smaller. For example, I set the row height to 0.8 cm instead of 1 cm.

Creating a sheet ruler in an oblique ruler in a Word is neither simple nor intuitive

And now let's work with the handles a little: move the mouse cursor over the third line from the top, press and hold the left mouse button and drag it down a little. Thus, a free space is formed between the 2nd and 3rd lines of our ruler (its height is approximately 1.5 cm). Also, just move down a little bit every third ruler line and we end up with a lined sheet similar to what I got.

Now the most interesting thing: the oblique ruler is called oblique because, in addition to the horizontal ruler lines, it also contains diagonal lines crossing the sheet from top to bottom, the very ones that help the child not to forget about the slope of the letters when writing.

By the way, have you ever wondered what is the angle of inclination of the lines when ruling into an oblique ruler? It turns out that it is strictly defined by the standard and exactly corresponds to 65 degrees (more precisely, 25 degrees, because we are looking at the sheet from below!). These are the diagonals that we will draw in our template.

Now let's just draw the oblique ruler!

On the panel "Insert" choose shapes tool and indicate the type of tool: Line.

Now draw a long line on the sheet strictly vertically (hold shift) and double-click to activate its settings.

On the Format tab, in the Arrange group, select the Rotate tool, and then More Rotation Options.

In the opened window "AutoShape Format" in field "Turn" specify the desired value: 25 degrees, and click "OK". The line will acquire the required "oblique" slope, by the way, its ideal height for a standard MS Word sheet should be 29 centimeters.

Set the slope of the oblique line

Well, that's all, it remains to copy the line the required number of times and distribute it evenly over the sheet, while not forgetting to adjust the size of the lines in height so that they do not crawl out of the main ruler of the sheet. Congratulations, your A4 oblique ruler created entirely in MS Word is completely ready!

You can download a ready-made A4 document template with oblique ruling from the link below in MS Word format.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to print a pre-lined sheet for various occasions. For example, to pass the time playing tic-tac-toe, you need a checkered sheet, what to do if it is not at hand. You can draw it yourself using a ruler, but it's easier to print it on a printer. All you need is a ready-made template. On this page you can download and print a checkered sheet, a ruled sheet or a music sheet.

Checkered sheet to print and download

The checkered sheet can be useful for children to solve a math example, and sometimes even for adults for various board games, for example, sea battle, tic-tac-toe or dots. It is not difficult to make your own sheet in a cell in Word, create a table of 37 by 56 cells. You will get an even cell, like in a checkered notebook.

A notebook with a number of sheets of 36 or more is considered common. Such printing is used by middle and senior schoolchildren, students, and office workers.

Read completely

When choosing large notebooks, pay attention to the following characteristics.

Format. The catalog contains: A5, A5 +, A4.
Number of sheets: the catalog has options in the range of 48-120.
Ruler: Usually a cage, but you can also find a ruler.
Mount type. The main and most reliable: gluing, paper clips, connection with staples, comb (metal spring).
Cover material: cardboard, craft paper, paper vinyl, artificial leather.
Design. The assortment includes notebooks decorated with state symbols; images of nature, animals, cartoon and movie characters; abstract and humorous pictures.
Amount in a package. Often, school printing is purchased in packages, which can be from 1 to 10 pieces.

Sometimes students have such a situation when lectures are urgently needed, and there is neither time nor desire to rewrite them by hand. An excellent solution to this problem would be printing lectures on notebook sheets in a cage. So, detailed instructions

How to print lectures in a notebook

First, about what we need:

computer;
Microsoft Word at least 2007 - a program for working with text;
printer - preferably an inkjet printer, it is even better if it is in color, in this case the text will look completely natural. Black and white is also suitable, it will be possible to refer to the fact that the text is written in a black gel pen;
a clean notebook - to remove the sheets from which we will print;
clerical or any other knife - cut the sheets before printing;
narrow tape - to glue the sheets after printing.

Create a new Microsoft word file, set custom page sizes in it Layout\u003e Size\u003e Other paper sizes:

In the window that opens, you need to set the following dimensions. These are the dimensions of a standard (not double) notebook sheet:

Width: 16.5 cm
Height: 20.5 cm

Let's configure the fields:

Top: 0.5 cm - the indent from the top edge depends on how the first cell is printed on top of the sheet. If it is intact, then 0.5 cm will be what you need. If it is cropped, you need to measure the part of the cropped cell with a ruler and add 0.5 cm to this value. Set the top margin of this size so that the text when printing is located strictly in the cells.
Bottom: 0.5 cm
Inside: 2.5 cm
Outside: 0.8 cm

You also need to select the item "Mirror fields"to print the pages correctly, as there are margins on one side of the page on the left and on the other on the right:

Now, to see how the text will fit in the cells of the notebook, you need to add a grid. The grid is not printed and is only needed for convenience. Go to the tab Layout\u003e Align\u003e Grid Options:

In the window that opens, you need to install grid step 0.5 cm and check the item Display grid lines on screen:

A grid should appear. If the top indent was set correctly, then the grid will exactly match the arrangement of the cells in the notebook.
Insert the text you want. While it does not look at all what it should, however, it is still ahead. To make the lecture look like a handwritten lecture, you need to use a handwritten font. It can be any handwritten font of your choice, in this example the font is Eskal.

Preparing text for printing on a notebook sheet

Now you need to format the text so that it is located exactly in the cells.

Font: Eskal. Download it.
Font size: 16
Line spacing: installed manually. Go to the tab Home\u003e Line spacing\u003e Other line spacing options:

In the window that opens, set the line spacing "Exactly", value 14.2 fr:

Much better now. Remove the spacing after the paragraph so that lines don't go outside the cells:

Select the text, set the alignment to width:

Turn on automatic word wrap:

If you did everything correctly, the text will look like this:

Perfect! Everything is ready for printing.

Now you need to remove the sheets from the notebook and print the text on them. Depending on which printer you have, there may be 2 printing options.

1 – an inkjet printer can print on double sheets. The sheet should be folded tightly in half and printed on each side, folding it correctly each time. This method is more complicated, you need to keep track of the order of the pages, since the left side of the sheet is at the beginning of the notebook, and the right side is at the end. Caution! The printer may chew on the double sheet. Therefore, if you do not want to take risks or if you are afraid to confuse the sheets, then it is better to cut them in half, and then glue them with tape.

2 – on a laser printer, the sheets must be cut in half, then print the text, glue the sheets with adhesive tape and insert into the notebook. Do not use paper with adhesive tape already attached to the laser printer. It will melt when printed and damage the printer.

The result is:

I hope you received an exhaustive answer to the question "how to print on a notebook sheet in handwritten type" and you will not have any difficulties with this. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.

A checkered sheet can be seen in Word documents if you press just one key. This is a background image that is only visible on the monitor screen. But in order for the cage to be visible when printing, you need to make a little more effort and use other tools.

When a cell is applied in Word documents;
How to make a cell in Word:

- Drawing a sheet in a cage.

How to remove cells in Word.

When a cell is applied in Word documents

A cell in Word can have a different purpose and appearance:

Functional purpose.

In this case, the "Grid" tool is used, which serves to align graphic elements and orient them on the sheet relative to each other and the coordinates of the sheet itself.

The snapping accuracy depends on the size of the grid step. This cell is analogous to graph paper, which was previously used for drawing and sketching.

Such a cell is not printed.

Checkered sheet as a visual object.

It is used when you need to depict a sheet in a cage in a printed form (analogue of a notebook sheet). For example, it will be easier for children to write numbers and draw shapes on a checkered sheet than on a regular sketchbook.

How to make a cell in the Word

Depending on what kind of cell is needed, the process of its creation will differ from each other.

Displaying a cell as a grid on a sheet

The cell, which is used as a tool for orienting graphic (and not only) elements in sheet coordinates, is a built-in background image. He is always present.

There are several menu sections where you can adjust the visibility of cells.

The easiest way is to display the cell from the “View” → “Grid” tab (the “Show” block) and put a checkbox there.

When formatting a document, the display of a cell can be set using the "Page Layout" (or "Layout") tab: find the "Align" command (the last block in the menu ribbon), open the list of its tools and put a checkmark next to the "Grid" line.

When working with drawing tools in the "Drawing Tools" tab, setting the display of cells on the sheet is performed by the chain: "Format" → "Arrange" → "Align" → check the box next to the line "Display grid".

Drawing a sheet in a cage

The easiest way to "draw" a sheet with a cell so that it is displayed when printing is by inserting a table. To do this, you must perform the following sequence of actions:

Step # 1. Insert table:

Open the "Insert" tab.
Click the arrow on the Table tool and select the number of rows and columns in the table.

You can get a sheet in a cage of 0.5 cm and ordinary sheet margins (30mm * 20mm * 20mm * 10mm) by creating a table with 35 columns and 50 rows.

Step # 2. Setting the cell size:

Open the "Layout" tab.
Find the "Cell size" toolbox and set the desired value in the boxes for the width and height of the cell (for a notebook sheet, for example, 0.5 cm).

Step # 3. Drawing cell boundaries:

Go to the "Constructor" tab.
Find the Borders tool, open the list by clicking on the arrow and select the All Borders icon.

Note. The display of the table borders is set by default, so in this case step # 3 is not required.

Cell setup

As mentioned above, the cell pitch affects the alignment accuracy. Often with a large step (size of the sides), it is impossible to connect 2 elements or precisely set the border of the table.

In such cases, for fine tuning of small parts and their correct docking, it is necessary to set the minimum grid spacing. And in order not to ripple in the eyes from such a small cell, you can configure the display of lines at a certain interval.

To start configuring the cell parameters, you need to do the following:

Go to the "Page Layout" (Layout) tab.
Next, "Align" (block "Arrange") → "Grid options" → the "Snap to grid" window. The following settings are made in this window:

Grid step. It is necessary to set the digital values \u200b\u200bin the "horizontal" and "vertical" boxes.
Show grid. Check the box next to the line "Display grid lines on the screen". It is necessary to set the numerical value of the horizontal and vertical spacing in the windows.

The object snapping setting is selected by checking the box next to the desired command: "Snap to other objects" or "Snap objects to non-displayed grid".

How to remove cells in Word

You can remove the visibility of cells on the sheet in the same menu sections where the display settings were made. Thus, one of the following options must be performed:

Option number 1. In the "View" tab, you need to find the "Grid" line (the "Show" toolbox) and uncheck its checkbox.
Option number 2. In the “Page Layout” tab, open the list of “Align” commands and uncheck the box opposite the “Show Grid” line.

You can delete a table with cells in the following way:

Place the cursor in the table area.
Open the Layout tab, click the Select arrow, and then choose Select Table.
Find the Rows and Columns section of the tools, click the Delete tool arrow and select Delete Table.

how to make a lined sheet in a box in Microsoft Word like in ordinary notebooks?

So, open the MS Word program. Turn on the "drawing" toolbar (View - Toolbars - Drawing). Click on this panel the button "Actions" - "Grid ...". In the window that appears, put down the grid parameters you need. If you want to create a pattern for weaving, put, for example, 0.34 cm horizontally and 0.4 cm vertically. Check the box next to Display gridlines on screen. Click OK. A grid appears on the screen. But this grid is virtual, it will not be visible when the file is printed. We will have to select the Line tool on the Drawing toolbar and draw each line along the grid lines%) Don't be lazy, it's enough to do it once, and then you can use this file all his life 🙂

In this tutorial we'll cover a common question: how to make cells in a Word (grid) - such design is necessary for creating advertising brochures or for imitating handwriting. Using special fonts, the text can be capitalized, that is, with the presence of characteristic curls of letters and connecting elements between them. On the official MS Office website you can find various templates for invitations, and now we will look at how to make them yourself. Well, of course, I will offer my solutions to the problem, because your text editor can do a lot more than you think.

So, let's list several practical answers to the question of how to make a grid (cells) in a Word:

So, we have analyzed 4 ways to make sheets in a cage, I hope this will be enough. My opinion is this: I would only use the second method as the most effective one. The first method is suitable if the work is urgent and needs to be done quickly.

Three types of sheet ruler: in a ruler, in a cage and in an oblique ruler. Today we will learn how to do all three types in MS Word.

In Microsoft Word, you can add and modify pictures, illustrations, shapes, and other graphics. All of them can be edited using a large set of built-in tools, and for more accurate work, the program provides the ability to add a special grid.

This mesh is an auxiliary tool, it is not printed and helps to make a number of manipulations on the added elements in more detail. It is about how to add and configure this grid in Word that will be discussed below.

Adding a standard mesh

1. Open the document where you want to add a grid.

2. Go to the tab "View" and in the group "Show" check the box next to "Grid".

3. The grid of standard sizes is added to the page.

Note: The added grid does not go beyond the margins, as does the text on the page. To resize the grid, more precisely, the area it occupies on the page, you need to resize the margins.

Lesson: Change margins in Word

Change the default mesh sizes

You can change the standard dimensions of the grid, more precisely, the cells in it, only if the page already has some element, for example, a picture or a shape.

Lesson: How to group shapes in Word
